doman的阅读教学法目的从来都不是真的教宝宝如何阅读,而是为了促进中枢神经系统的阅读功能
http://www.childbrain.org/forum/viewtopic.php\?t=147 First, Doman\'s \"teaching a baby to read\" has never been about actually reading. It\'s designed to stimulate growth of the neural pathways that perform the reading function. The idea is to grow a strong network of neural pathways that will then be utilized throughout a person\'s life to actually read with. Yes, at some point along the way, kids (even little kids) with excellent reading centers in the brain will start to read. That\'s great! But that\'s the end product of a well developed reading center in the brain. Doman is about creating the area in the brain. How the kid chooses to use it and when is up to the child and the parent. I\'m a Doman kid and technically, I\'m a genius. I don\'t care for the term particularly, but the IQ tests label me that way. I entered the University of Michigan honors college as a sophomore at 15, speak four languages fluently, majored in Russian and East European Studies with a minor in subatomic particle physics, was an Olympic caliber swimmer, played piano seriously, showed horses internationally, etc. Was the youngest female pilot in the history of the Air Force (turned down U of M law school to fly jets), and now am a published author of fiction novels. The list goes on, but I think I\'ve made my point. (Somebody please archive this post, because I hate writing out that list of stuff, even if it is necessary from time to time.) I\'d rather be measured by my compassion for humanity, my love of my family, and the decency by which I try to live my life, but now and again, I suppose it\'s helpful to trot out the resume to make the point that the real gift of being a Doman kid is that Doman kids can accomplish anything they want to in life. As an aside, Ben Newell didn\'t know the fighter planes at age 16, but he did correctly identify for that same film crew all the dot cards he was shown -- both to his and his mom\'s total shock. He hadn\'t seen those since he was two, either. Funny, but the film crew neglected to use that segment of film. There is a certain political incorrectness in the U.S. to the whole idea of encouraging moms to stay at home and be full time moms these days. I don\'t have time to debate the pros and cons of that today, but perhaps this program was slanted a bit by that. Pardon my bluntness on this next point, but here goes. There is an inherent dislike of genius in this country. Everyone wants their kids to be popular and/or athletic, but very few people will openly aspire for their kids to be brilliant. There has, as long as I can remember, been a backlash against anyone who helps children to be extremely educated and/or intelligent. My parents faced it, I faced it as a kid, and now I face it as a parent. I don\'t know if this stems from the idea that it\'s somehow elitist to aspire to genius, or if it\'s fear that someone will get further ahead than you or your kid, or it it\'s just meanness toward the person who stands out from the crowd intellectually. My guess is that this is the crux of the attitude the television show took with them to their week at IAHP. There no doubt are a few parents out there who relentlessly badger their kids, who force them to perform, and who cause no end of emotional and psychological problems in their kids. But, accusing all parents who augment this nation\'s pitiful education system by teaching their kids of doing such damage to their children is plain ridiculous. It\'d be like accusing every Arab-American in this country of being a terrorist. It\'s so unfair it borders on criminal to make such generalizations. However, that generalization is made over and over with regard to parents who want their kids to have a first-rate education. I, for one, am sick and tired of it. I dare any school in this country -- ANY school -- to show me 100\\% of its students, up to half of whom started life brain-injured, do the things the kids at the Evan Thomas School do. Let\'s see those other kids do a full length Shakespeare play before the age of 13, AND be proficient gymnasts, AND be proficient musicians, AND speak several languages, AND do high-school and college level math, AND love to read and learn, AND run 10K races for fun, AND be great swimmers and bikers, AND be decent, compassionate, humane people. When some television program can show me that, I\'ll be happy to consider alternative methods for teaching my children. A first-rate education opened innumerable doors for me and has allowed me to contribute in a meaningful way to the world around me. What\'s so wrong with doing the same for my child, be it via Doman\'s methods or someone else\'s\? People like the producers of this television show seem to hold the theory that if the American school system was good enough for them, then it\'s good enough for everyone. Parents are told to keep their nose out of the experts\' way so the \"experts\" can educate our kids. Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed that the education system those experts run in this country sucks\? I expect a whole lot of experts\' noses are out of joint that a growing number of parents are not satisfied with the experts\' system any more. But that\'s tough. I\'ve got a child to educate and prepare for the future as well as I can, and I don\'t have time sit around waiting for the experts to get their act together. The folks at IAHP don\'t expect everyone to embrace everything they have to say about education. They expect bits and pieces of it to be controversial, because some of what they advocate and have researched does fly in the face of traditional thining about learning and education. But I think they have a right to expect fair coverage by the media. I\'ve seen this piece before, and I\'ll be blunt again. It was anything but fair. Regardless of whether the producers were right or wrong in their opinions about IAHP, I am bothered by media members who slant their coverage and don\'t impartially cover their subject matter. These folks can love or hate Doman\'s methods as they see fit, but I object to their using their media coverage to editorialize in the guise of documentary coverage. So, the bottom line for me is, who cares what some TV program said about Doman one way or the other\? For that matter, who cares what anyone else says about it\? [size=12 My neighbors, friends, and in-laws aren\'t responsible for educating Sarah, but I am. I\'ve seen great results in my child, and I\'m satisfied that I\'m helping her and not harming her. That\'s all that matters. Undaunted, Cindy Dees and Sarah (31 months)
